Dysfunctional

This poem was inspired by a previous relationship... can you see why it didn't work out?!?

We were so wrong, That we made it right. We slept through the day, And only talked at night. We never told the truth, We only lied. We always laughed, When we should have cried. We were never bland, We had to add spice. We were always naughty, But rarely nice. We used the words hate, Instead of using love. We fell into a ditch, Instead of rising above.
